V: 145 L: 245 W: 76 As the name suggests the Rocket is set up for high-octane blasting with straps that can be setup outboard or way outboard. The short, wide nose and lightweight LTD construction gets you up and planing with minimal effort. The Average Joe sailor will enjoy its cruising speed before progressing on and learning how to engage the Rocket’s warp drive for even more speed. For those new to the footstraps both the cruising and top speed takes some finesse and tuning to dial in, but if you have the desire this is a board you will never outgrow. The Rocket lets you fly into jibes with plenty of commitment knowing that if things don’t go as planned you can rely on the mid-carve speed to still plane out. But the short, wide nose means it requires some skill to navigate through your jibes with plenty of reward available for those who are ready for it. tabou-boards.com
